Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program; modifying and adding resources exempt from resource determination criteria. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 113 modifies Oklahoma's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program by adding two specific resources to the list of items exempt from income and asset calculations that determine eligibility. It allows TANF recipients to keep monthly child support payments (up to $100/month for one child or $200 for two+ children) and includes a new earned income disregard (up to $120 plus half of remaining income) without those amounts counting toward benefit limits. These changes directly affect low-income families in Oklahoma who receive TANF assistance by increasing the income they can earn or receive while still qualifying for support. The bill updates existing statutory language to reflect these exemptions and takes effect immediately under an emergency declaration.
